Planet Waves for August
Taurus (April 19-May 20)
This month's total solar eclipse in your 4th solar house (dwelling places, security, emotional well-being, father) will call you closer to your true home. You may also be met with the fear of uprooting, of losing your comfort zone, or of having your delicate sense of security challenged in some way.
Ain't it fun to be a bull? Want to make a Bull wet its pants? Take away the food, have their SO decide they no longer want sex, steal from 'em, or force change upon them.
Yup.
It is difficult to imagine on this side of a threshold that life will somehow be better as a result of it. Indeed, it may seem impossible to do so.
Errr.....
Yet change is the one thing that we can count on. The reason you don't have to worry about any one aspect of your stability is because your entire being rests on a greater certainty, something so vast you may not even be aware of it. This is a surety that transcends the normal fluctuations of the world, the rise and fall of fortunes, and the waves of belief or disbelief in ourselves. Events this month will go a long way toward connecting you to the deeper reality within yourself. The changes themselves will connect you with your more authentic sense of confidence and presence in the world; indeed, from where you stand now, there is no other way to get there.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22)
Those who succeed in this world always have a story to tell, and usually it's not the story you expect. If you've ever read a biography, you know what I am talking about. Making your way to excellence is never just wine and roses. Many people we respect have struggled so much, and worked so hard for so long, that you might ask yourself if it was even worth it all. The journey is different for everyone. You in particular cannot follow anyone else's way right now; but that is good news, because the way that is unique to you is opening wide. Though it is clearly not the whole story, there is something in your chart about understanding your vision of what success means, and doing so in very specific ways. There is something distinctly personal speaking through your chart right now, and the more personal you get, the closer you will come to breaking through to experiencing the feeling tone of success. Here is the "lesson" in a nutshell. Success is a feeling; it is the feeling of allowing yourself to be, without fighting the experience. It is the feeling of embracing your authority, and knowing that it consists mainly in making decisions rather than avoiding them.
